Description
A Mercedes-Benz 560SL from the 107 series is something truly special, as it represents the top model of the series. But not only for that reason, also because the 560 was generally exported to the United States of America and later brought back, and is now being offered here. This divides the enthusiast community: many say that, because of its appearance (US version), it is not a "real" SL—but in our opinion, this is more a matter of taste than one based on facts. The argument concerning the engine difference, namely the lower engine output, only applies to the older versions (e.g. 380SL with 155 hp instead of 204 hp in the European version).
Our vehicle, which has covered 230,000 kilometres and which we are offering on behalf of its owner, has a 5.6-litre V8 engine producing 227 hp and, together with a sound history, attractive equipment (the automatic climate control and the rare rear seats deserve special mention) and a fantastic colour combination—Impala metallic with beige leather and brown soft-top fabric—ensures an unforgettable driving experience.
Now you only have to decide whether you like the US appearance, which the owner has left completely untouched, and then it can be said:
